They do that with other sets though. It's the same with the 89 Batmobile and Batwing.

I'm not a car guy, but that is awesome
As for minifigs, I wish they included them more often. They would have been a great addition to the Ecto 1

They included a full set of Ghost buster mini figs with the small Ecto-1 from a few years ago.

Coming June 22. Lego Optimus Prime. No word on price but at 1500 pieces and the complexity, it's probably in the $150-$200 range.

Oh, that looks much better than I imagined. Very cool.

Bricklink Designer Program Round 3 kicks off May 17.
The prices this time around are nuts. Even the Classic(ish) Space set was far more than I thought it would be.

On the whole, the art-style hanging theme just doesn't do it for me, but I do like the Van Gogh set. I think it's the multi-layered design that gives it the dimension similar sets lacked.

Yeah, there are some wonderful textures in that set. Far from just a flat piece.

I am considering buying my first Lego set in 30 years as I saw the Lamborghini Countach model and I think it looks great. Normally I don't like the look of Lego but this one just manages to be alright.
What I am afraid of is the stickers. I'm not a fan of applying stickers in case they get applied slightly off or get messed up. Is there any recourse if you have sticker issues? Does Lego customer service provide replacements?

Stickers are the worst
Take something like eyeglass cleaner (windex might work, but I haven't tried it), and lightly spritz it on the brick you're about to apply the sticker to. You can then more easily manipulate the sticker around until it's exactly where you want it, pat off the extra liquid, and let it dry for a minute
edit: I was trying to remember where I got this tip, and its from Lego itself: https://www.brickfanatics.com/window...lego-stickers/

Starry Night is supposed to be out at 10pm MDT but already says temporarily out of stock, or maybe they haven't restocked from the VIP presale? I'm a VIP but I forgot it was available on the 25th and by the time I remembered it was already sold out in the presale.

They really seem to be underestimating the popularity of some of these IPs. If it's not Star Wars or Marvel, good luck getting it
I'd suggest checking at Toys R Us. When I was looking for Zero Dawn, they said they'd received a few orders, which is more then the Lego Store got
